I am working with XSL-FO in combination with the Antenna House Formatter (V6) where I have a block-container with column-count: 3 on it. The problem is the overflowing content does not go to the right but instead goes below it. I can "fix" the issue by creating more columns and increasing the width of the block-container but I dislike like that as it's a hack more than anything.
I have illustrated what it does and what I want:

Is the above format of display Ok?

I am trying to set a footer only in the first page of a RTF document.
Approach
I defined two regions to show one in the first page and the other in the rest of pages.
Once it is done, I could just remove the second footer text to achieve my goal (the generated rtf document only has two pages).
Result
Unfortunately with the transformation below I am getting the "Rest of pages footer" in both pages. It seems XSL-FO never catches the matching criteria for page-position="first".
I also tried a similar approach with odd-or-even="odd" in the conditional-page-master-reference with the same result.

FOP's RTF output supports only a single page master. See https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.6/output.html#rtf
FWIW, you can get the footers with AH Formatter using the free-but-unsupported Word output option (see https://www.antennahouse.com/microsoft-word-output):

fo:region-body can have border properties. See https://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#fo_region-body.
Rounded corners are not in the XSL 1.1 Recommendation. However, your XSL formatter probably has an extension for rounded corners:
Antenna House has axf:border-radius and related properties (see https://www.antenna.co.jp/AHF/help/v70e/ahf-ext.html#axf.border-radius).
FOP has fox:border-*-*-radius properties (see https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/2.5/extensions.html#rounded-corners).
i am trying to hide fo:table row or column lines based on the requirement from web application, so i used to set border-style="none" to fo:table-column or fo:table-row based on the need, but when i tried it,
either it creates dark lines in row's (if i hide column lines)
or creates dark lines in column's (if i hide row lines).
If column lines get hidden:
If row lines get hidden:

I am using these xml and xsl files to generate PDF using apache fop, Is there any problem in my code?
Unfortunately, this sort of thing crops up from time to time in FO development involving FOP rendering.
For your answer, please see Section 6.9 of xmlgraphics.apache.org's FAQ re anti-aliasing and Acrobat.
Notice that if you play with the zoom factor in Acrobat, the problem will disappear/reappear depending on the setting.
Also note that if you try your example with RenderX (a.k.a XEP), this won't happen. They've apparently figured out (or never had) the problem.
One of the perils of trying to get away with a non-commercial FO product. (Not that something has to be commercial to be good, of course, but it's just fact that commercial FO processors are better and more powerful than FOP, though FOP is improving, albeit slowly.)
If you have to continue using FOP, make sure you're on the latest version (see this pin). Some important benefit to be had with 2.4.
ADDENDUM (Usage of SVG):
You can avoid this FOP bugginess by dynamically-built-out SVG markup.
Here's an example of the kind of markup you'd have to generate to get a PDF table by this method:
<fo:instream-foreign-object>
<svg:svg width="1000%" height="1000%">
<svg:g id='rowGroup' transform='translate(0, 0)' role="table">
<svg:text x='30' y='30' font-size='18px' font-weight='bold' fill='crimson' text-anchor='middle' role="row">
<svg:tspan role="columnheader" x='100'>Sales</svg:tspan>
<svg:tspan role="columnheader" x='200'>Expenses</svg:tspan>
<svg:tspan role="columnheader" x='300'>Net</svg:tspan>
</svg:text>
<svg:rect x='30' y='40' width='310' height='1' fill='black'/>
<svg:text x='30' y='30' font-size='18px' text-anchor='middle' role="row">
<svg:tspan id="q1" role="rowheader" x='30' dy='1.5em' font-weight='bold' fill='crimson' text-anchor='start'>Q1</svg:tspan>
<svg:tspan role="cell" x='100'>$223</svg:tspan>
<svg:tspan role="cell" x='200'>$195</svg:tspan>
<svg:tspan role="cell" x='300'>$28</svg:tspan>
</svg:text>
<svg:rect x='30' y='60' width='310' height='1' fill='black'/>
<svg:text x='30' y='50' font-size='18px' text-anchor='middle' role="row">
<svg:tspan id="q2" role="rowheader" x='30' dy='1.5em' font-weight='bold' fill='crimson' text-anchor='start'>Q2</svg:tspan>

<svg:tspan role="cell" x='300'>$32</svg:tspan>
</svg:text>
<svg:rect x='30' y='80' width='310' height='1' fill='black'/>
<svg:text x='30' y='70' font-size='18px' text-anchor='middle' role="row">

I leave it to you to dynamicize the FO creation for your particular case, but this ought to teach you how to build tables this way.
You can easily achieve the effects you desire by drawing the borders as SVG polygons, which is where Kevin was going with this (although I believe he was speaking of the code inside the RenderX engine. My solution externalizes that via embedded SVG creation.) Of course, the <svg:rect> tag is a form of polygon, and that's what you'd use to render borders.
Remember to specify the SVG namespace on your <xsl:stylesheet> tag if you're going to attempt this.
xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
Check out this recently merged patch (merged 2020-12-29), which seems to fix this problem for me:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2536 (Varying table border thickness in PDF output)
Revision 1884907: FOP-2536: Allow overpaint of PDF border
From the Apache FOP 2.6 you can to set the following parameter into the configuration file (by default fop.xconf):
<table-border-overpaint>true</table-border-overpaint>
This option may to make your borders thicker, but fix an issue:
https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/faq.html#acrobat-anti-aliasing
Also this issue is registered as Chromium Pdf rendering bug:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=500023

All works excellent, but first page have a page number.
I do not need number on first page.
Thanks y'all!
You have to create a separate page-sequence-master for the first page, that does not include the page number. Then use a statement like this to specify which master will be used for each page of the book:
<fo:page-sequence-master master-name="chapter">
<fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="page_first" page-position="first"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="page_even" odd-or-even="even"/>
<fo:conditional-page-master-reference master-reference="page_odd" odd-or-even="odd"/>
</fo:repeatable-page-master-alternatives>
</fo:page-sequence-master>
(copied from one of my projects, so you'll have to adapt it to your structure)
I'm using XSL-FO with Apache FOP to take a sexy looking XML file and output it as a PDF, however I'm having a really basic problem trying to get a particular bit of information (the address) to be positioned from the right of the page, I can force it over to the right by increasing the left attribute, but if I change my page size, orientation or margins this will immediately be useless.

And as you can see by this screenshot the element isn't positioning correctly:
Any one know know why this is happening?
Bugger, looked at the FOP changelog and the two years between versions 0.95 and 1.0 made me think whether it was a bug, downloaded the new binaries and it's now positioning my element from the right.
